Although she wanted to chat with Hua a bit more to earn some energy, after all, subjugating the Eleventh Herrscher was the most important thing. So, when the departure time arrived, Lee could only reluctantly bid farewell to Hua.
And when dealing with a Herrscher, there was no need to talk about martial ethics. It's best to just gang up on them. Lee actually had a small objection to this view.
Of course, it wasn't because she thought that one should be honorable when dealing with Herrschers. In fact, as long as it was necessary, whether it was traps, poison, or sneak attacks, as long as it could kill the Herrscher, Lee could do it without hesitation.
The main reason she didn't agree with this view was that sometimes ganging up was useless, other than increasing casualties.
Take now, for example. Lee stood on a tall building, frowning as she looked at the battle between the Eleventh Herrscher and the nearly ten thousand MANTIS warriors who had descended from the sky in the distant city.
Since the MANTIS warrior surgery was introduced earlier than in the original timeline and was now more complete, coupled with a large number of test subjects, it ultimately provided humanity with this force that could be called the last line of defense.
And after this large-scale group of MANTIS warriors entered the barrier at the same time, Lee could clearly feel that the power that originally restricted Honkai energy had weakened.
For those MANTIS warriors, this was enough for them to go from struggling to survive for just one minute to being able to engage in normal combat—unfortunately, it was the kind where they couldn't use Honkai energy, and could only rely on their slightly stronger physical fitness than ordinary people to fight the Herrscher with cold weapons.
The Tenth Divine Key was not fully completed. Otherwise, letting these warriors rush in with a Tenth Divine Key each might have had a better effect.
But there was no way. Even MANTIS warriors couldn't do what Lee did, directly stuffing the core into their bodies to share the pressure. Instead, they would be eroded by Honkai energy.
Although these warriors all showed a determination to die, the scene was still completely one-sided, unable to cause truly effective damage to the Herrscher.
Although the Eleventh Herrscher did not show any other special authority besides restricting energy, her own destructive power was not weaker than any of the previous Herrschers in frontal combat.
It was not until a figure covered in flames rushed into the battlefield from the edge and pinned down the Eleventh Herrscher, engaging in a frenzy of attacks, that the battle situation barely progressed towards a balance.
Thank goodness I already turned down my hearing, otherwise the sound of this battle might have deafened me... Huge explosions constantly came from the center of the battle, making Lee silently cover her ears.
But this fiery person looks a bit familiar...
After careful observation and consciousness communication, Lee finally confirmed this person's identity—this was Kalpas who had undergone MANTIS surgery!
Or, to be more precise, it was Su piloting Kalpas's body...
Wow, is piloting other people's bodies the new trend now?
I really can't keep up with the times...
Kalpas's own power and the Eleventh Herrscher's were too incompatible. Lee had previously told Kalpas to rest well and not participate in this battle. He clearly hadn't listened to her.
He had changed his profession from alien to MANTIS warrior...
It seemed a bit stronger than before, but not much stronger. Why risk danger to do this?
And even if he did, it still wasn't enough.
Looking at the human side, which was still at a disadvantage, Lee knew that it was time for her to take action.
The combat-type Divine Keys had already been handed over to subjugate the Eleventh Herrscher, but Lee still had the Herrscher of Reason and Herrscher of the Void cores on her. And this was enough for Lee to launch a full-power attack.
Using physical attacks might not have much effect, so she could only start with her old profession—consciousness.
Unfortunately, in this barrier, if she wanted to use Honkai energy to attack from a distance, the power would be consumed halfway. Therefore, even though Lee was now a ranged mage, she could only find a way to attack from close range.
I've been playing with the Gojo Satoru memes for so long, let me steal one of Gojo's moves this time...
Lee's two fingers came together, slowly pointing towards the Eleventh Herrscher in the distance.
Speaking of Gojo Satoru, besides the Dimensional Slash that turned him into GO/JO, his most famous move was undoubtedly the renowned Unlimited Void.
It floods the brain with endless garbage information, causing the enemy's brain to completely overload, unable to do anything.
Lee couldn't flood it with garbage information, but she thought she could try flooding it with useful information...
"Let's try it..."
Lee's eyes narrowed, and her power activated the newly arrived Herrscher of the Void core within her. Although she wasn't particularly skilled with it, just borrowing a bit of the simplest authority was enough.
Because she wanted to preserve as much power as possible to launch the attack, Lee didn't precisely locate the location of her space teleportation.
Therefore, she appeared directly above the battlefield and fell in front of the Eleventh Herrscher, who had just knocked down Kalpas and was about to finish him off!
Woah, I really walked right into the line of fire...
The Eleventh Herrscher's cold, murderous gaze turned towards her, but Lee's face did not show the slightest panic. She just calmly extended her finger towards the Herrscher.
Sigh, should I also make up a chuunibyou name for my move? Something like Unlimited Void, or Kyoka Suigetsu...
Unfortunately, Lee's chuunibyou level was still insufficient for her to come up with a suitable name in such a short time. She could only sigh softly in that fleeting moment.
"Kevin, do it."
Boom!!
The next moment, Lee's figure was heavily struck by the Eleventh Herrscher's attack, smashing through several buildings and disappearing into the rising dust, her fate unknown.
But strangely, after attacking Lee, the Eleventh Herrscher stopped moving. Not only that, but even her restrictive barrier, which had been enveloping the Earth, suddenly disappeared at this moment. Her entire body stood blankly in place, her eyes empty.
Fused with the Herrscher of Sentience core, Lee could almost be called the Key of Consciousness among the Divine Keys.
Therefore, naturally, the power she possessed was specialized in attacking consciousness. But even so, when facing a powerful enemy like the Eleventh Herrscher, the opponent would inevitably have some protection against consciousness attacks.
It was too difficult to directly influence the opponent's thoughts or destroy their consciousness. Lee, with only one strike, could not possibly do it.
So Lee chose a different approach—for example, stuffing all the memories of the nearly ten thousand MANTIS warriors present into the Eleventh Herrscher's consciousness in an instant!
It wasn't a traditional mental attack, but using a large amount of memory to directly crash the opponent's brain.
Eat my DDoS attack!
